Hi,

First I am sorry to ask this question but I would like to know if some 
cygwin developers
could give me some advice about the way of installing a software at 
the root drive
(ex c:\mysoftware) on Windows Vista/7 operating systems.
Indeed normally on those systems application are installed inside 
Progam Files and
have limited write access.
However with cygwin you manage to install it anywhere you want and you 
have write access.
So if you could give me some ideas it would help me a lot.

Thanks
